The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Chapter 141 Trading

Moreover, after joining the Heavenly Wind Pavilion, there is no guarantee that they will not be able to expand beyond the Azure Wasteland in the future. He does not believe that this pavilion master is willing to stop here.

The Hundred Battlefield will surely have a place in the future.

"The same applies to subordinates."

Li Baixing nodded in agreement, expressing his own thoughts.

There's absolutely no need to hesitate when choosing between these two options.

Ye Feng nodded and smiled, then said no more about the topic.

In his mind, he also preferred the former option, as Tianfeng Pavilion needed manpower to expand outwards and could not rely solely on him.

He didn't have much time to deal with miscellaneous matters; it was most appropriate to leave these to supreme beings like Chen Duanjin.

Of all the supreme beings under his command, only these two have the potential to break through to the second-rank supreme level in a short period of time.

Although Qianxuan trusted him quite a bit, he was still inferior to these two in terms of strength.

A second-rank supreme being is enough to control a larger territory. Outside the Qinghuang Ancient Plains, there are many small and medium-sized forces, and these are the targets of the Tianfeng Pavilion next.

As for the forces behind these forces, he will intervene to stop them. If these two perform well, he will not mind searching for some resources for them.

"If that's the case, then let's settle on that."

Ye Feng glanced at the two of them, then changed the subject.

"Although I trust you two, let me make this clear: now that you have submitted to my Heavenly Wind Pavilion, you must abide by the rules of the pavilion."

"Past events can be forgiven, and I will not interfere with the entanglements between the forces behind you two. However, if anyone harbors disloyal intentions and secretly plots against us in the future—"

Before he finished speaking, an invisible spiritual pressure emanated from Ye Feng's body, causing Chen Duanjin and Li Baixing's expressions to change drastically and their hearts to tremble.

"Three—The Supreme Rank Three—"

Sensing Ye Feng's surging spiritual energy fluctuations, Chen Duanjin's pupils constricted, his breathing quickened, and a storm raged in his heart.

Not long ago, the Pavilion Master's strength broke through again, reaching the third-grade Supreme level, which is rare in the entire southeast region of the Hundred Battles Domain.

This person's strength is not as simple as it appears on the surface. When he was a second-grade supreme being, he could easily kill people of the same level and severely injure and suppress third-grade supreme beings. Now, wouldn't he be able to contend with even fourth-grade supreme beings?

"This Pavilion Master is truly extraordinary—"

Li Baixing also sensed Ye Feng's strength and felt a sense of awe in his heart.

The person before me has made another breakthrough in strength compared to half a year ago; he is much stronger than before.

A third-rank supreme being is rare no matter where in the Hundred Battles Domain. With such strength, one would be treated as an honored guest by any faction.

"Please rest assured, Lord, we will serve the Heavenly Wind Pavilion to the death!"

A moment later, the two, who had been stunned by Ye Feng's strength, quickly came to their senses and bowed to express their gratitude.

By now, they had no more doubts.

The opportunity to follow such a promising and strong individual is rare and hard to come by.

"That would be best."

Ye Feng withdrew his spiritual power and his expression turned solemn.

"The unification of the Qinghuang Ancient Plains is just the beginning. From now on, the Tianfeng Pavilion should set its sights on areas beyond this region. I do not want the two of you to be complacent and stagnant."

"Furthermore, effective immediately, select outstanding individuals at the Third Heaven Realm from under your command and assign them to the Lingfeng Guard!"

Ye Feng gave the two a heads-up and then made some arrangements.

Lingfeng Guard is the first army of Tianfeng Pavilion. He hopes that in the future it can be built into the Great Luo Heaven Army of the Great Luo Heaven Domain, where everyone is a Supreme Realm expert, or even stronger.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he had to devote his heart and soul to it and select outstanding people to join.

He believed that as time went on, Lingfeng Guards' loyalty to him would only increase, and nothing was more convincing than improving the treatment of those under his command.

"I will obey the Lord's command."

Upon hearing Ye Feng's arrangement, Chen Duanjin and Li Baixing both cupped their hands and bowed to accept the order.

Selecting people to join the Lingfeng Guard is not a difficult task, especially since they now belong to the Tianfeng Pavilion, so they naturally cannot be divided into such detailed categories in front of this Pavilion Master.

To refuse would be ungrateful.

Having received clear replies from the two, Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction and then waved his hand.

"Go back now. If there's anything I need, I'll summon you at any time."

The Qinghuang Ancient Plain is vast in area, but that's relative to ordinary people. For supreme experts, although they can't reach any place instantly, it doesn't take much time either.

Therefore, it was very easy for him to see the two of them.

"Your subordinate takes his leave."

The two bowed and retreated, both breathing a sigh of relief as they stepped out of the main hall.

"The Supreme Rank Three..."

Chen Duanjin murmured softly, his eyes still showing some shock.

Even someone as powerful as the Remnant Star Supreme, whom he had secretly sought protection from, was only a second-grade Supreme. Yet, the apparent strength of their Pavilion Master was already comparable to that of the Sect Master of the Yin Luo Sect.

If a fight were to break out, the latter would be utterly defeated; he was absolutely certain of that.

"This young sect leader's strength is truly unfathomable. He was only at the second rank half a year ago, but now he has already broken through to the third rank. Such a cultivation speed is simply monstrous."

Li Baixing, too, looked shocked and nodded in deep agreement.

"A figure like the Pavilion Master, if given a few more years..."

Chen Duanjin picked up the conversation, his cloudy eyes darting around.

If he continues to cultivate at this speed, it's not hard to imagine what his future achievements will be like. It's not impossible for him to even break through to the fifth-grade supreme realm.

"Yes... let's wait a few more years—"

Li Baixing held his breath, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

Now that they have joined the Heavenly Wind Pavilion, they will share both glory and ruin with this Pavilion Master.

If they achieve sufficient strength, the benefits to them will be unimaginable.

"Joining the Heavenly Wind Pavilion is undoubtedly the right choice we've made..."

"."

'

Inside the main hall, Ye Feng stood with his hands behind his back, watching Chen Duanjin and the other man's departing figures, and pondered to himself.

After subduing the Broken Gold Society and the Hundred Lines Sect, the Qinghuang Ancient Plain has been completely brought under the control of the Heavenly Wind Pavilion. The number of Supreme Beings under the Heavenly Wind Pavilion has increased to four, which can be considered as having some foundation.

From the Sword Continent to the vast world, from being alone to now having his own power, he has finally taken this step.

However, this level of power is still insignificant compared to the entire southeastern region of the Hundred Battles Domain.

"Next, we'll expand outwards, taking over the forces controlled by several second- and third-grade Supremes, such as the Lishan Sect. Gathering enough Supreme Spirit Liquid for fifty thousand units will be a piece of cake..."

Ye Feng's eyes flickered as he made his plans.

In the southeastern region, the forces are complex and intertwined. The strongest forces are not the Xuan Gu Hall or Yin Luo Sect, but the Lei Mo Sect, Gui Yun City, You Du City, and several other forces with fifth-grade supreme experts.

These forces control more than half of the cities in the southeast region, and have a considerable number of supreme experts under their command.

These fifth-rank supreme forces are closely connected with the three major forces of the Hundred Battle Domain.

In the past month or so, after breaking through to the third-grade supreme realm, he did not remain idle. Instead, he went out and took a walk to learn about the situation in the southeast region in detail.

The greatest threat to this southeastern region is not the forces controlled by fifth-grade supreme experts like the Thunder Demon Sect, nor the three major forces like the Myriad Swords Valley, but the Great Luo Heaven Domain that borders this region.

The friction between the Great Luo Heaven Domain and the Hundred Battle Domain has never ceased. Although the Great Luo Heaven Domain has the Great Luo Domain Lord, a supreme being, the Hundred Battle Domain also has the shadow of the Heavenly Profound Palace behind it.

"It is said that the Three Sovereigns of the Great Luo Heaven Domain launch a small war of conquest every few years, mobilizing their forces to fight against the Hundred Battle Domain."

"A third-grade supreme being, such strength is far from enough—"

Ye Feng let out a soft breath, then his figure flashed and headed towards the location of the bone shadow.

Before expanding beyond the Qinghuang Ancient Plains and developing the Tianfeng Pavilion, it is necessary to thoroughly resolve the conflict with the Xuangu Palace.

He has now broken through to the third rank of Supreme, and his strength is no longer comparable to what it used to be. He is fully confident in dealing with the Profound Bone Supreme, so the Profound Bone Palace is naturally no longer a threat.

On the contrary, if the Xuan Gu Palace were willing, he wouldn't mind discussing a business deal with them.

The southeastern part of the Hundred Battles Domain is a vast territory. If relying solely on flight, even a First-Rank Supreme might find it difficult to traverse it in a month.

Such a large territory is enough to create a force that can stand alongside the three major powers, including the Ten Thousand Swords Valley. Naturally, it will not lack resources.

Tianfeng Pavilion is ultimately a new force, and if it wants to expand rapidly, it will inevitably form alliances with some other forces. Although he has a grudge against Xuan Gu Palace, he believes that Xuan Gu Supreme will make the right choice in the face of absolute interests.

.

The inner city of Tianfeng City, the core area.

Ye Feng landed and arrived in front of a quiet courtyard.

The gate to the courtyard was ajar, and from the outside, the courtyard, though small, was decorated quite luxuriously.

This was a residence specially arranged by Tianfeng Pavilion for Gu Ying, who was nominally a guest but was actually confined here.

Pushing open the door, Ye Feng saw Gu Ying sitting cross-legged on a stone platform in the courtyard, his face pale and his aura weak and listless, showing no trace of the imposing presence of a third-grade supreme being.

"Elder Bone Shadow, have you been settling in well these past few days?"

Ye Feng spoke calmly, standing with his hands behind his back in the courtyard, his gaze gazing at the Bone Shadow with a serene expression.

Gu Ying opened his eyes, saw Ye Feng, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. He then stood up and bowed.

"You're too kind, Pavilion Master Ye. I'm used to staying here. Thank you for your hospitality, Tianfeng Pavilion."

Although he spoke politely, Gu Ying was secretly groaning in his heart.

For the past six months, his spiritual power has been sealed, making him no different from an ordinary person. He can't even cultivate to recover. This kind of life is worse than death for him.

Fortunately, the deadline is only one year, and he still has a chance to see the light of day again.

During the time he was away from Tianfeng Pavilion, his life was entirely in the hands of this pavilion master.

Even now, their own temple master has not made any move, presumably because he is wary of the unknown forces behind this young man, whose strength is equally terrifying.

The Palace Master was not confident that he could quickly rescue this person from his clutches. This time, he had made the Xuan Gu Palace a laughing stock and lost 10,000 Supreme Spirit Liquids for it.

After this matter is over, I will most likely be condemned and criticized by the temple master and some elders.

"Elder Bone Shadow, there's no need for such formalities."

Ye Feng waved his hand, sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard, and stared directly at Gu Ying.

"I have come today to discuss something with the elder."

"Discuss?"

Gu Ying was slightly taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

The young master of Tianfeng Pavilion is incredibly strong, decisive, and ruthless. He is a prisoner, yet he has taken the initiative to come to him to discuss matters.

Ye Feng nodded slightly and got straight to the point.

"I want to make a deal with your Xuan Gu Palace."

"trade?"

Gu Ying frowned slightly, her mind racing, her gaze fixed on Ye Feng, afraid that she had misheard.

Even if their palace master doesn't pursue Tianfeng Pavilion afterward, the relationship between the two families is definitely not good.

They imprisoned him here and killed the people in the palace, including Gu Xuan. Although Gu Xuan wasn't that important, he was still a second-rank supreme being.

In addition to the ten thousand Supreme Spirit Liquids, for various reasons, it would be quite reasonable for the Xuan Gu Palace not to seek revenge after he returns from his seclusion.

"The world is bustling with activity, all for profit. If the Xuan Gu Palace is willing, it will reap a considerable reward."

As for the conflict between Tianfeng Pavilion and Xuan Gu Hall, they can probably be forgotten in the face of mutual benefit.

Ye Feng's expression remained unchanged as he spoke calmly.

It is true that the Xuan Gu Palace has a deep conflict with him, but neither the Bone Shadow nor the Xuan Gu Supreme is a reckless person.

As for whether the two were despicable and treacherous, he didn't care. With his current strength, the Xuan Gu Palace was nothing to fear.

Once Tianfeng Pavilion completes its expansion and he achieves his goal of gathering enough Supreme Spirit Liquid to cultivate the Blazing Fire Profound Sword Body, he will have some confidence even when facing a Fifth-Rank Supreme.

"Please speak frankly, Pavilion Master Ye."

Bone Shadow paused for a moment, then a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes.

The person in front of me is young, but he is quite shrewd and experienced, and he obviously won't do anything useless.

If it's a business transaction, then the seal on him might be broken sooner.

"Now that the Qinghuang Ancient Plains are unified and the Tianfeng Pavilion has been completely taken over, the Xuangu Palace has always coveted this place and is unlikely to be content with gaining nothing."

"Losing a second-grade Supreme and ten thousand Supreme Spirit Liquids is not a worthwhile deal. If Elder Bone Shadow goes back like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to explain himself well—"

Ye Feng smiled faintly, his gaze falling on Gu Ying, his voice neither hurried nor slow.

"And now I'm giving your Xuan Gu Palace a chance, a chance to recoup your losses, and even gain more benefits."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ying's eyes flickered slightly, and he roughly understood what Ye Feng meant.

"Does Pavilion Master Ye mean—cooperation?"

Gu Ying asked tentatively, a solemn expression appearing on his aged face with prominent cheekbones.

"good."

Ye Feng nodded slightly, his expression calm. "In the southeast of the Hundred Battles Domain, the forces are complex and intertwined. If Tianfeng Pavilion wants to grow and expand, it will be somewhat difficult with its current strength alone."

"The Xuan Gu Hall has been operating in this region for many years and has a deep foundation. It has many powerful people under its command. If it can temporarily join forces with the Tianfeng Pavilion, it should be able to occupy a place in this southeastern region."

'

The Heavenly Wind Pavilion is newly established and will soon engage in external battles. Half of the resources gained will be shared with the Mysterious Bone Palace.
